Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 161: Chapter 99: Dog-Like Thing! (Reset)_2

“If you don’t want to deal with it, my husband, you don’t have to bother yourself—just let the Family Head handle it according to the clan rules,”

Lu Miaoyun spoke, saying so.

Though Lu Miaoyang was her cousin,

they were not from the same branch of the family and weren’t particularly close on a regular basis.

Moreover, Lu Miaoyang’s behavior was generally unpopular, and Lu Miaoyun didn’t have a favorable impression of him.

Lu Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart when he heard this.

He also knew that in recent days, Lu Miaoyun and the Fourth Elder had been worrying about this matter.

“If it comes to dealing with it according to the clan rules, what would generally happen?”

He asked aloud.

“Such incidents are rare within our family.”

“Even if there are disputes, they’re usually limited to verbal arguments; it’s rare for someone to take action and cause serious injury.”

“So this situation is quite serious. Not only will there be a fine of Spirit Stones, but the offender will also be sent to perform hard labor.”

“However, grandmother said that since my husband is a Talisman Master, the family will certainly not send you to perform hard labor.”

“Even if it’s settled by the clan rules, it will just be a matter of paying extra Spirit Stones and a slight reprimand,”

Lu Miaoyun considered for a moment before speaking thus.

In the past few days at home, she naturally hadn’t sat by idly.

She had even approached Lu Miaoyang, offering to compensate with Spirit Stones, hoping the other party would agree to a reconciliation.

But he was relentless and demanded the Nine Netherhound as compensation.

Lu Miaoyun, of course, wouldn’t agree to such an unreasonable demand.

It wasn’t just because the Nine Netherhound was a pet raised by Lu Changsheng.

The extraordinary qualities of the Nine Netherhound alone wouldn’t allow for such a course of action.

“Alright, I understand.”

“Then I’ll go talk to Lu Miaoyang again to see if he is willing to make amends,”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng more or less understood the situation.

Reconciliation would of course be best,

otherwise the matter would have to be settled according to the clan rules.

Even if it came to a clan ruling, his side would likely suffer a slight loss.

Since both Lu Yuanding and the Fourth Elder had expressed their hope for him to try for a reconciliation, he would have to go through the motions, if only as a formality.

“My husband, I’ll accompany you there,”

Lu Miaoyun immediately said.

“No need, I can go by myself,”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said, “Can you tell me where Lu Miaoyang lives?”

Lu Miaoyun did not insist and described the location of Lu Miaoyang’s residence to Lu Changsheng.

Just when Lu Changsheng was about to leave,

Lu Lanshu came along with Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile, a few of the little ones, to see Lu Changsheng.

This matter involved the youngsters,

and had caused such a stir that Lu Changsheng, as the head of the family, had come back.

Lu Lanshu, as their mother, naturally brought the little ones to see Lu Changsheng.

At the moment, the little ones were looking at Lu Changsheng with some evasion in their eyes,

slightly bowing their heads, obviously aware that they had caused trouble.

“What’s with you all? The matter is not your fault; why are you looking like this?”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng chuckled.

He crouched down and gently ruffled the children’s hair, speaking softly.

As far as he was concerned, the matter was certainly not the children’s fault.

How could he scold them?

And seeing how the children looked, he guessed that Lu Lanshu had also chided them.

“Dad, you’re not blaming us?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an looked up at Lu Changsheng and mumbled.

The other little ones also looked at Lu Changsheng.

“Why should I blame you?”

Lu Changsheng laughed.

“We caused trouble for you, dad,”

Lu Ping’an said.

“Was this trouble something you brought upon yourselves?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“Not at all, it was that mean person who wanted to snatch Xiaohei,”

“and he called names,”

Lu Xile immediately complained indignantly.

“That’s clear, then. If he wanted to snatch Xiaohei and also resorted to insults, then the fault lies with him,”

“Dad has always taught you to avoid trouble and keep out of it,”

“but that doesn’t mean we should be afraid of it. If trouble comes our way, leave it to dad to handle,”

Lu Changsheng said in a gentle tone.

He also realized that in some respects, he hadn’t taught them well.

Thinking that the children should grow up safely and securely in the mortal world,

he had instilled in them the idea of staying out of trouble whenever possible.

Besides, the children were mostly raised by their mothers.

Lu Miaoyun was not too bad,

but Lu Lanshu and the other wives were worldly women of the Lu Family.

Coming to Qingzhu Mountain, they ultimately felt some restraint.

Even though his status as a husband had improved, they still felt somewhat inferior in Qingzhu Valley.

So they had always told the children not to cause trouble or stir up issues, which would inevitably affect them.

“If the Lu Family Ancestor were to live another ten years, I’m guessing the Lu Family would face turmoil in about five or six years,”

“If I were to flee, I would have to ensure my wives and children are well settled,”

“Ping’an and the others are almost of age; they can be sent to the mortal world in a year or two, where education must be properly arranged,”

“Otherwise, if things continue this way, there could be problems with the children’s education,”

Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly.

He had always been conscious of issues regarding the children’s education.

While he didn’t exactly resonate with the saying ‘born in the deep palace and raised by women’s hands’,

he was very clear in his heart.

Given the rate at which he was fathering children, with so many in tow, leaving them in their mothers’ care was likely to breed problems.

He had to have a complete training and education system for the children.

But now, being in Nine Dragons Market with a pile of daily affairs,

plus having so many children, he truly was too busy to manage their education.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng did not believe that his own teaching was necessarily correct or that he could do it well.

His actions and thoughts were heavily influenced by his previous life,

and having lived in this world for many years, he was gradually merging with its dog-eat-dog moral rules.
